Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachersThat told me I'd never amount to nothin'To all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin'In front of that called the police on me when I was just tryin'To make some money to feed my daughterTo all my peoples in the struggle, you know what I'm sayin'?It's all good baby, baby, check itjklmn

It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazineSalt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousineHangin' pictures on my wallEvery Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl

I let my tape rock 'til my tape poppedSmokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stockWay back when I had the red and black lumberjackWith the hat to match

Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-haYou never thought that hip hop would take it this farNow I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tightTime to get paid, blow up like the World Trade

Born sinner, the opposite of a winnerRemember when I used to eat sardines for dinnerPeace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid CapriFunkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky

I'm blowin' up like you thought I wouldCall the crib, same number same hood, it's all goodAnd if you don't know, now you know, you know

You know very well who you areDon't let 'em hold you down, reach for the starsYou had a goal, but not that many'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty

I made the change from a common thiefTo up close and personal with Robin LeachAnd I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all daySpread love, it's the Brooklyn way

The Moet and Alize keep me pissy, girls used to diss meNow they write letters 'cause they miss meI never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuffI was too used to packin' ***s and stuff

Now honies play me close like butter played toastFrom the Mississippi down to the East CoastCondos in Queens, indo for weeksSold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak

Livin' life without fearPuttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's earLunches, brunches, interviews by the poolConsidered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school

You know very well who you areDon't let 'em hold you down, reach for the starsYou had a goal, but not that many'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty

Phone bill about two G's flatNo need to worry, my accountant handles thatAnd my whole crew is loungin'Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'

Thinkin' back on my one-room shackNow my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her backAnd she loves to show me off, of courseSmiles every time my face is up in The Source

We used to fuss when the landlord dissed usNo heat, wonder why Christmas missed usBirthdays was the worst daysNow we sip champagne when we thirsty

Damn right I like the life I live'Cause I went from negative to positiveAnd it's all, it's all goodAnd if you don't know, now you know, you know

You know very well who you areDon't let 'em hold you down, reach for the stars(And if you don't know, now you know, you know)You had a goal, but not that many'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty(And if you don't know, now you know)

You know very well who you are(Puff Daddy)Don't let 'em hold you down, reach for the starsYou had a goal, but not that many(It's all good, Brooklyn)'Cause you're the only one, I'll give you good and plenty(The Bronx, Queens, Uptown, Mt. Vernon)(South Central, Detroit, East Side, West Side, it's all good)
